The Anomaly DLC for RimWorld introduces a variety of new, horror-themed weapons. These weapons are often crafted from new resources or found through specific events and research. This guide covers the available weapons, their characteristics, and how they can be utilized to combat the new threats.

• Void monolith — A monolith of unknown age, purpose, and construction. Its smooth surface is etched with lines that twist and writhe in unsettling patterns.
• Harbinger tree — A gnarled tree that grows a flesh-like covering. Harbinger trees are capable of feeding on corpses and raw meat, and will consume those placed nearby.
• Fleshbeast — Hideous creatures composed of masses of cancerous flesh. Some contain multiple nervous systems, allowing them to split into smaller fleshbeasts.
• Sightstealer — Emaciated and misshapen humanoids. Their arms end in sharp, curled claws formed from bioferrite. Sightstealers are fragile, but use psychic influence to render themselves invisible until they get close to their victims.
• Shambler — Corpses reanimated by microscopic archites. Shamblers are slow, mindless, and will attack relentlessly.
• Ghoul — A person implanted with an archotech shard and twisted by dark psychic influences into a jittering murder machine.
• Gorehulk — A monstrous creature that resembles a massive, painfully swollen human with randomly reconfigured body parts.
• Death pall — A corpse-gray cloud composed of microscopic self-powered archites created by some unknown superintelligence.
• Pit gate — A massive, foreboding hole that connects the surface with a dark network of underground caves.
• Dreadmeld — A gargantuan amalgamation of dozens of smaller fleshbeasts linked together by a loosely shared central nervous system.
• Fleshmass heart — The primary organ of a fleshmass infestation.
• Fleshmass nucleus — The central control unit of a fleshmass infestation.
